[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. [b]Some of the replies on this site are just awful. I came upon it by accident but it might be my first and last. [/b]
So many great responses from those of you with real experience and knowledge of adhd. 
But I can’t fathom how the parent with 3 adhd kids thinks you just learn to manage it by 18!  Are people not reading books about their kids disorder? Other posters are just plain ignorant. If you really don’t have a good understanding of adhd or what services actually look like out there in the colllege landscape, maybe don’t add your two cents. Hint: there is more to ‘support’ than just extra time. All kids (adhd or not) are going to see their executive functioning put to the test when they leave home. For some kids it can be crushing without the right supports. Stand alone programs can be lifesavers. I’m familiar with ones on the  lower end of the prestige spectrum so might not have a lot to add. University of Denver has not been mentioned and has a good reputation for support. Marist, Adelphi, Hofstra, U of A, American already mentioned. Ohio Wesleyan has a relatively new program (it’s been a couple of years since I toured it). A warm welcoming space with great staff. The book that was mentioned upthread (K something?) was very useful. Good luck to all you LD parents. It’s a struggle most  don’t understand.
